Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Cross-Site Evaluation of the National Child Traumatic Stress 
Initiative (NCTSI)--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will conduct the 
Cross-Site Evaluation of the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative 
(NCTSI). The data collected will describe the children and families 
served by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and their 
outcomes, assess the development and dissemination of effective 
treatments and services, evaluate intra-network collaboration, and 
assess the Network's impact beyond the NCTSN.
    Data will be collected from caregivers, NCTSN staff (e.g., project 
directors, researchers, and providers), mental health providers outside 
of the NCTSN, and non-mental health service providers who provide 
services to children outside of the NCTSN. Data collection will take 
place in 31 Community Treatment and Services Programs (CTS), 13 
Treatment and Service Adaptation Centers (TSA), and 2 National Centers 
for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS). Data collection for this evaluation 
will be conducted over a four-year period.
    In order to describe the children served, their outcomes, and 
satisfaction with services, data will be collected from youth ages 7-18 
who are receiving services in the NCTSN, and from caregivers for all 
children who are receiving NCTSN services. Data will be collected when 
the child/youth enters services and during subsequent follow-up 
sessions at three-month intervals over the course of one year. 
Approximately 2,333 youth and 3,300 caregivers will participate in the 
evaluation.
    Data will be collected for use in the development of evaluation 
measures that will assess the development, dissemination and adoption 
of trauma-informed services. These data will be collected from a total 
of approximately 121 NCTSN service providers, project directors and 
NCCTS staff. Data will be collected one time from these respondents.
    Measures that collect data on development, dissemination, and 
adoption of trauma-informed services and other NCTSN products will be 
administered to approximately 1,100 service providers, 88 project 
directors, and 44 researchers/evaluators. These measures will be 
administered once per year in each of the four years of the evaluation.
    To assess collaboration across the network, data will be collected 
from approximately 454 NCTSI staff and 54 project directors/principal 
investigators. The surveys associated with this data collection will be 
administered at varying intervals, with either one or two data 
collection points per respondent over the four years of the evaluation.
    Product development and dissemination will be evaluated with data 
that will be collected from 88 project directors/principal 
investigators. These data will be collected annually.
    To assess the national impact of the NCTSN, data will be collected 
from 1,600 mental health and 1,600 non-mental health service providers 
from outside the NCTSN. These data will be

[[Page 2258]]

collected every second year over the four years of the evaluation 
(i.e., two data collection points per respondent).
